First of all DON'T MINIRAISE PREFLOP. God how I hate it when people mini-raise small pocket pairs.

Second, Raise the flop. Raise the turn, and don't push the river. In this hand you should be all in on the turn. There's no reason not to be. Don't be too tricky. If he had a King or AA he's paying you off no matter what.

I hate to say it, but for playing as bad as you did, you deserve what you got.
